Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze quotation mark usage and capitalization:

  1. Quotation marks for a direct quote (or phrase) should not have internal capitalization unless it's a proper noun or start of a sentence. Here, "focuses" (not "Focuses") is correct inside quotes as it's part of the sentence.
  2. Commas around the quoted phrase are incorrect here because the phrase "focuses on a similar subject" is essential to the sentence (explaining why the film was shown), so no commas should set it off.
  3. Checking each option:
    • First option: "Focuses" (capitalized inside quotes) is wrong.
    • Second option: Commas around the phrase and "focuses" (but commas are incorrect here).
    • Third option: "focuses" (lowercase inside quotes, no unnecessary commas) – correct.
    • Fourth option: Commas around the phrase and "Focuses" (capitalized) – wrong.

Answer:

Ms. Andrade showed us a documentary in class today because the film "focuses on a similar subject" to a book we are going to read.
